But the social network is trying. In fact, it’s eager to show everyone just how hard it’s trying by releasing to the public a “Managing Unconscious Bias” video used to train Facebook employees.

Sandberg herself is best-known as the author of “Lean In,” a self-help book about women taking control of their careers.
